Sercos space heritage over the last 40 years has placed us in the Space News Top 50 Space Industry Manufacturing and Services Companies. With over 1500 staff in the space business covering a wide spectrum of experience and skills, we convey best practice, expertise and innovation in our business. All members of our recruitment team have extensive space experience, so have the insight necessary to support you through the application process. For our activities in EUMETSAT, we are currently looking for support within the Data Processing Systems and Applications Group of the System Engineering and Projects SEP Division to assist in the specification, preliminary design, procurement, integration, testing and transfer to operations of Data Processing elements for future programmes under development, and the maintenance and evolution of data processing systems and applications for existing programmes. Tasks From Data Processing Systems and Applications Group of the SEP Division, the engineering support will be provided to the EUMETSAT Polar System Second Generation EPSSG Ground Segment team in the frame of the EPSSG Preparatory Programme Phase B, and to the Operations department in the frame of maintenance and evolution of the EPS data processing systems Phase E. The key persons will carry out tasks which support activities related to initially Phase B followed by phases CD of the EPSSG Programme in the area of ground segment engineering. In this context attention is drawn to the mandatory nature of the programme. In detail, support will be provided for the following tasks Support to the definition of data processing concepts and their implications on Ground Segment interfaces and architecture, analysis of requirements and constraints imposed on Ground Segment data processing elements, including their impact and criticality, specification and maintenance of Ground Segment and lower level requirements in DOORS with associated traceability and verification methods, including the development of testing concepts and test scenarios, and justification of requirements to be documented in the Ground Segment Design Justification File Maintenance of the functional and architectural model of Ground Segment data processing elements with the selected Model Based System Engineering MBSE methodology and contribution to the Ground Segment preliminary design definition to be documented in the Ground Segment Architectural Design Document and contribution to the Ground Segment Integration, Verification and Validation IVV approach definition for data processing elements, and specification of Interface Requirements Documents IRDs Performance of tradeoffs to assess effectiveness, risks and costs of alternative architectural and technical solutions in the area of data processing and support to the compilation and maintenance of data processing engineering budgets such as data and products volumes, products generation timeliness Support to the procurement of Ground Segment data processing elements by advising on technical solutions proposed by the contractor and by reviewing documentation to confirm its compliance with the requirements, along with support to testing, integration and acceptance of Ground Segment data processing elements by reviewing testing documentation, managing procurement of test data where appropriate and evaluating coherence and adequacy of integration and system level tests Support to anomaly maintenance and evolutions For maintenance, characterisation of system component behaviour against required performance, maintenance of a systematic overview of anomaly contexts, and proposal and implementation of system alterations including component modification to achieve required performance for evolutions, conceptual design, requirements specification, functional modelling, system analysis, and concept development to support increased performance, rationalisation of components, and cost reduction, along with monitoring and supporting the implementation of evolutions, and documenting the resulting revised relationships between component clusters, functional models, and requirements. In addition, there will be regular involvement in the following tasks requiring interaction and coordination with other teams at System and Ground Segment level Review of System, Space Segment and Ground Segment documentation dealing with requirements, concepts, algorithms and technical analyses of relevance for data processing, including review of instrument data processing algorithms and calibration concepts defined by the Space Segment with emphasis on their implications on Ground Segment data processing concepts, interfaces and architecture Participation in formal reviews and technical meetings at System and Ground Segment level Review of documentation dealing with technical evolutions of the EUMETSAT infrastructure. Qualifications and Requirements Essential In addition to having a University degree in the engineering domain or equivalent the keypersons shall have the following mandatory skills and experience At least 3 years of experience in engineering of Ground Segment data processingelements for Earth Observation missions, including requirements specification, definitionof interfaces, architecture and testing concepts At least 3 years of direct involvement in specification, design, development andorprocurement of at least two of the following Ground Segment elements o Processing infrastructure for Level 1 and Level 2 data processing o Level 1 instrument data processors o Frontend and L0 processing. The key persons shall be willing to work within a multidisciplinary and dynamic context in cooperation with other teams. The ability to maintain a system overview is essential. They shall have a systematic approach to work, be able to plan their work and to cope with tight schedules and multiple tasks. They shall have the capability to write accurate and consistent technical documentation. The working language for the position is English and therefore they must be able to work effectively in this language. Desirable Previous experience and knowledge in any of the following areas will be considered an additional asset Requirements management in DOORS Experience with formal system architectural modelling and design tools Knowledge of ECSS and CCSDS standards Knowledge of Calibration Validation activities for Earth Observation products Experience in specification, development andor procurement of instrument test data and processor prototypes for Earth Observation missions.
